Mat_4:1-11. Mar_1:12-13. Luk_4:1-13.
The University of Arabia: Jesus' naturalness—the Spirit's presence—intensity, Luk_2:45-51.—a true perspective—- the temptation's path—sin's path—John's grouping, 1Jn_2:16.—the Spirit's plan—why—the devil's weakness—the Spirit's leading—a wilderness for every God-used man, Moses, Elijah, Paul.
Earth's Ugliest, Deepest Scar: Jesus the only one led up to be tempted—the wilderness—its history, Gen_13:10-13; Gen_18:16 to Gen_19:38.—Jesus really tempted—no wrong here in inner response—every temptation—by the devil.
Waiting the Father's Word: the tempter's skill—acting divinely—a stone for hunger—not wrong in itself—recognizing temptation—"man"—waiting the Father's word—the trained inner ear—not our power but God's through our obedience.
Love never tests: a more agreeable setting—touching tender chords—the religious temptation—only through consent—bad scripture quoting, Psalms 91—a helpful dust-cloth—using power only to help—a true quotation, Deu_6:16.
The Devil acknowledges the King: a dazzling scene—analyzing the tempter's proposition—a common cunning trap—Jesus' kingly conduct—the devil obeys Him—but to return—a coward—our safety in Jesus—lead us not into temptation.
